Hey guys a guard that is on a team I GM is having pass protection problems. He plays LG, and seems to get run over like he is getting pancaked. His strength and blocking are over 70 each. I was wondering what SA should I consider building on to help this. Or could it be another stat that I should get up more.

Agility soft capped.

Keep plugging away at stength and blocking.

For SA's I would go with "Get Low" and "Foundation"

Try soft capping his confidence also

I was going to ask on a separate thread if Cut Block would work or if it is a running play only skill.

whats his agility. I'd be willing to bet he has very low agility and is just getting blown by. so it looks like he is getting pancaked.

My two guesses in order
1) stamina
2) confidence

I had similar problems with my G that seemed to almost completely go away after pumping a few points into stamina.

And while I can't be sure about this, I get the impression that the entire Line's morale goes down with a sack/bad play. So if the guy has low conf, a string of bad plays occurs, and he's playing a strong opponent, he wouldn't be nearly as effective as his 70 str/blk would suggest.

On both teams you GM, the opponents field lv. 30+ guys.

So at 70 strength and blocking he's overmatched. Aim for 80/80 at least.

Soft capped agility shouldn't be the problem, but A BIT speed is needed for a LG too. So if he's got like 10 speed, that might be the problem. Low stamina and confidence could be causing the failure either.

77/71 strength/blocking, speed is over 30 and stamina is 41 and I know its not that cause it happens at the start of games. I honestly believe its ether SA's or a bit more strength but I think its the SA's

Try foundation then - and raise blocking to 80.
